Evaluation of the Design of Ecological Buildings Using the Matrix of Eco-Efficiency in Residential Sectors of Ecuador

The research aims to study the influence of eco-efficient buildings by comparing their designs according energy efficiency criteria and optimization considering scenarios with traditional construction systems. proposed methodology shows that building projects comply environmental sustainable strategies for expansion height floors. Previous technical characteristics parameters are considered, these divided into three main areas: water, energy, inputs, in addition a secondary area: housing density. evaluation was carried out showed water consumption parameter is most expensive manage any company tends be very irregular its percentage compliance, since it depends on customs inhabitants. considered complex aspect, use private transport expected decrease. However, due structures cities, this difficult change without comprehensive public policies. This implies apartment sales decrease when there no available parking spaces. On other hand, contribution parameter, regardless company, always remains constant economic investment required international regulations. Finally, density met same amount user occupancy buildings. planning cities Ecuador currently part development, instruments policies involved shaped real estate sector and, it, urban development. Thus, starting from definition nature going through description regulations until specific cases architecture reached, application development shown.
